So, how long ago did you have a stoke? I can see you're still having trouble even writing a sentence a 2nd grader could manage. Are you able to feed yourself or wipe your own ass yet? Just curious about your recovery, because I care.
How manipulative is CNN fake news?? Here's an example...

There's the brilliance we've come to expect from Corn Pop. You know, he wrote two letters to the editor in the seventies. He'd want you all to know.
This simpleton refuses to remove his thumb from his ass in public, sources say.
Yep, and morons like lefty are perfect examples of their target audience. Lurchy is another perfect example, he struggles with too many words strung together like you find in articles. Headlines are about the limit for morons like him, and there are many Lurchy's out there.

If you were to stop posing on this forum, then the world wouldn't know just how foolish you are.
Hmmm... I see that you are continuing on with your idiotic cult behavior.
At this point you are complaining about a single adverb in an article that is about 1300 words long. Then your complaint about that word is wrong if one applies the first dictionary definition of that word which is defined as "in some degree." A 25% drop is some degree of decrease.
Then you make the argument that the author and editor MUST watch the price of oil religiously and modify that one word that has little to do with the theme of the article. Oil is near $100 a barrel which is stated in the second paragraph. For the 15 hours after the price peaked at close to $120, the price remained near that $100 a barrel or above it. The journalist who wrote the article is a White House reporter. The piece is about the way the administration is reacting to the price being near $100 a barrel and what they plan to do to try to keep the price down.
So -
Provide the dictionary definitions of somewhat and explain why only the one definition applies.
Provide the requirement that journalists watch stock prices and update stories if the price is not relevant to the thrust of the article.
Explain why one hour out of 15 is the only hour that is relevant to the story
Explain why one adverb in a story can make the entire story misleading.

Was it me?
And are now above $100 even with trump giving away multiple countries oil reserves...

Yup. (for Brent; WTI is nearing $100)
Did you watch the oil price this religiously when the Autopen had it at or over $90 for much of 2022 ... not just for a few weeks (or even a couple months), but for about 2/3s of a year?
IOW, the fear mongering is still present even with there still being plenty of oil to go around.
There is 400 million barrels being released from reserves. That will replace 20 days of Strait of Hormuz transit. The only problem is getting into the right places in the world at the right times.
It is unclear how much of the US strategic reserves were promised to other countries in the future to get them to release their reserves now, so it is unclear when the strategic reserves will run out. The strategic reserves will run out if this is not solved quickly.

As you're already aware, I'm actually railing against their manipulation tactic, Richard.
Irrelevant.
Stop evading. This isn't about any technicality within a dictionary definition of a word. This is about manipulation via a 'lie of omission'. CNN purposely highlights the highest number, then is purposely vague about a "somewhat" decrease from that high number (instead of stating the actual number, which is a whopping 25% DECREASE from the high number). It's lying by omission. Focus on THAT instead of trying to evade by sprinting towards some dictionary definition of a word.
Stop being stupid. (I know, I know, it's not possible). If the article is specifically about the price of oil, then they are naturally watching the price of oil when writing and editing the article. They know full well what the price actually is, but they 'lie by omission' with regard to the 'low number' for the day and instead just say "decreased somewhat" (to purposely give the impression that the price is still near $120/barrel).
What 'boondoggle', Stooge?
Bush II won the war in Iraq.
Trump is ENDING the 'forever' war in Iran.
Illiteracy: The beginning of a sentence is always capitalized. Proper nouns are always capitalized.
Iran is not the 'world order', Stooge. Why do you support terrorists?
Trump didn't. You are not a fool anywhere near as competent as IbDaMann.
The Strait of Hormuz is open to traffic, Wally. Not all of the world's oil moves through that strait. No even most of it. 172 is not 400, Wally.
Prices are already coming down, Wally.
Inversion fallacy, Stooge. That won't work. Grow up.
